Have you ever bought a game multiple times?

[Zyst]

I've bought Warcraft III: Battle Chest 5 times so far, 1 as a gift to my brother, another as a gifts to a friend and 3 for myself which I lost. It was still worth every cent, I love the crap out of that game and would be willing to buy it twice more to still have it, it's easily the game I have played the most (what with custom maps and all) and I love it to death.

I bought Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory twice, the first disc kinda broke.
My heart died the day when I discovered its mangled remains under the leg of my chair.

 

[piinyouri]

Yup, bought Otogi twice, Driv3r twice, Burnout Revenge three times, FarCry 2 twice, bought Morrowind three times(Once for the normal version on Xbox, another for the GotY Xbox copy, and then finally on the PC)

There's more for sure but I can't remember them right now.
I try to not sell my games anymore.

 

[Razentsu]

I have Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition, Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 for the PC and 360.

 

[Behazard]

I almost never buy games twice, since I don't want to pay for an experience I already had.

The only games I bought double was when it was announced that Mass Effect 3 used Origin. Since I didn't want to have the program on my PC I rebought ME 1 & 2 for the Xbox360..

 

[Sean Hollyman]

I bought the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, and I had already bought Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 a few years before, so I guess that counts.

 

[karcentric]

Saints Row 2, I got it on PC, PS3 and than Xbox 360, clocked at least 60 hours on each if not more...

I wasn't obsessed or anything.

I bought Hunted: The Demon's Forge on Xbox360 as something to play coop with my boyfriend. But I'm not very good at playing shooters with a controller at the best of times and Hunted is not the best of games! So I sold it and bought two PC copies for the same price. With the ability to use a mouse, the game is actually pretty playable.

Also, I bought a standard copy of Borderlands (back when it was vaguely new) and then (about a month ago) sold that copy and bought the GotY edition (with all the DLC) on Steam instead.

Back in highschool I lent a friend of mine my copy of Tales of Symphonia. A couple months later he gave it to a mutual friend of our to give back to me, but by the time I got my hands on it again it only had Disc 1 (of 2). Second disc vanished, no one knew where it was. I suspect that it was mixed in with the GC game collection of friend 2's brother, but when I inquired about it he flat out said "no" and didn't even look.

Eventually, I found the game again and bought it right away, no hesitation. I don't know if I'd call it my favourite GC game, but it is definitely the one I played the most so I was really glad to have it again.


Other than that, I've bought other games multiple times as they were released in different ways on different platforms. Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9 I bought on Playstation and PSN. The list of games in that sort of situation is probably larger but I cannot recall all of them at the moment.

 

[Reaper195]

I've got Just Cause 2 and Limbo on all platforms.

 

[madwarper]

Half Life 2 - Xbox and 360 Orange Box
FFIV - GBA and DS; I heard the DS version was vastly improved. That was a lie.
Oblivion - Twice; I made the mistake of raising up my running 360 up .01° and it ate my disk.
Metal Gear Solid - PSX and Gamecube; Didn't know it was the same game, GC version was titled "Twin Snakes".
Resident Evil 4 - Gamecube and Wii; The WiiMake was totally worth it, motion aiming and the bonus content.

 

[Bat Vader]

I bought both Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 for the X-Box 360 and PC. I also bought two copies of the Witcher 2. The first one I bought was the Collector's Edition of the game and the second version I bought was the extended edition that came out in April. I bought the extended edition just to help out CD Projekt Red.

 

[DugMachine]

I have 3 copies of Guitar Hero 3 because they always get ruined one way or another. ONLY game of mine that gets ruined...

And I had 2 copies of Black Ops for awhile... forgot where the second one came from..

 

[Genocidicles]

Deus Ex and the Classic Fallout collection. Bought them both twice, and I'll probably end up buying them a third time as neither disc works anymore.

 

[Lovely Mixture]

I bought Stalker SoC for Steam even though I own a physical copy. It became annoying to update it everytime after I reinstalled it.

I plan on buying the Dark Souls PC version and not just cause of the added content, but because I want to support the company (FROM) that made it.

 

[latiasracer]

Ive gone through about 5 copies of Rainbow Six Vegas 2, because the disks keep breaking...

Ubisoft don't know how to make discs for shit!

 

[Cerberus1880]

Just Cause 2/GTAIV twice
Fallout/Oblivion/Morrowind regular and GTOY
Duke 3D 3 times (plus XBLA)
Doom I/II 3 times (plus XLBA)
Zelda: OOT N64 and GC (GC was on a promo disc)
Perfect Dark N64 and XBLA

 

[Orcboyphil]

I bought Mass Effect three times, on the Xbox when it came out, on the PC when that version was on sale and on Steam when it was on sale there and I had resold my PC copy. I bought two copies of Fallout 3, the normal when it came out and the GOYT edition to get the last two pieces of DLC I hadn't got (it was cheaper that way, thank you steam). I've got Xcom twice again when it first came out and then when it was re-released on Steam.

I think I've got through to 4 or 5 copies of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 now, it'd always just vanish after awhile.

Might and Magic 6, 7 and 8 I have had to buy multiple times due to lending them to people and them either returning broken or not returning.

Dungeon Keeper 3 times, though one is the GoG version.

Neverwinter Nights + Expansions twice each after losing Shadows of Undrentide and the standard disc and getting a newer system.

Halo: Combat Evolved, loved the game, sold my xbox, bought a new xbox just for Halo and Kingdom Under Fire Heroes.

Theme Hospital, lost the first disc I had, cracking game though and I had to get it again.

Sonic The Hedgehog, I owned two copies of it anyway, but sold them both with a megadrive and now have both again.
